we look at dodd-frank, we look at the regulatory framework in the united states. we look at the fed. one of the greatest threats to the u.s. and the capitalism really is academics and bureaucrats that really run our entire regulatory framework in the u.s. and they run the federal reserve. we need risk it takers. people that have actually taken risk to be in the regulatory framework. if you look at the crash of 2008, who is making all the decisions? it was hank paulson, someone from wall street. and we have a situation all these years later where if you look at the fdic, the futures trading commission, the regulatory infrastructure doesn't have approach risk takers. and that's a big threat. >> it sounds like you think the fed are taking risks. >> i've been behind the scenes taking to hedge fund managers. these are complete experimental drugs, they don't have an exit strategy. they want to make us feel good with academic contrived jargon, but this is a massive experiment. and what i'm worried about, think about in the united states we have a trillion dollars in pens
